Turquoise

Turquoise necklaces, rings, bracelets and more; amberlaine has turquoise in an array of styles, shapes, colors, and themes that will never go out of style.

Oscar Wide, famous playwright, author, and wit, said it best, “Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” There have been few exceptions to this rule, turquoise, with its 9,000 years of history certainly seems to be one of them. So if you want a piece of jewelry that can be passed down as an heirloom for generations to come, or you just want something that’s not going to go out of style next season, turquoise is a safe bet.

The allures of turquoise are endless; the balance between its blues and greens, the balance between something natural, and something almost otherworldly, certain cultures believe that it can balance mind and body, light and dark, yin and yang – but this doesn’t do much good as a piece of jewelry unless it can fit in that balance between blouse and skirt, pants and shirt, shoes and bag, and one of turquoises main charms is its flexibility as a jewelry accessory. All the balances, and traits, that the stone embodies which have been revered for thousands or years by cultures across the world, also make it such a practical piece of jewelry. Its natural, raw, powerful beauty lets in blend in with the most natural looking outfits – especially skirts, summer dresses, and anything that fits into that increasing popular “green look.” However even if you’re not into that whole green look, turquoise is perfect for providing a natural contrast to a more refined and sophisticated style.

One needs to look no further than the barrage of celebrities going down a red carpet wearing some high end dress, contrasting with, but certainly not clashing with, a natural piece of turquoise around their neck. Its allure also lies with the fact that it often has the shape of an original rock, no mind boggling facets, no prism like effects, but its color is just eye popping. Within those two descriptions lies the heart of the turquoise stone, its stunning, beautiful, classy, natural, and eye catching, while somehow, avoiding being too flashy, too ostentatious, or too “oh look at me.” Turquoise is truly one of nature’s great accomplishments.
